[QUOTE="grimmgoose, post: 9347139, member: 7042183"] Honestly, just take the Savage Worlds Fantasy Companion "Stronghold" system, and make it 5E. The Bastion system, as/is has many problems, but also it is so needlessly complex. Instead, just do: [LIST] [*]Everytime you level up, your stronghold levels up as well [*]When your stronghold levels up, you can choose a new structure to add to it. This could be anywhere from: [LIST] [*]a barracks that grants you 20 guards [*]or a Great Hall, granting you Expertise (or Advantage) when making persuasion checks inside your Stronghold [*]or a Wizard's Tower that grants you a free casting of a spell, or a Monument that grants all party members a free success on a Death Save. [*]Library that gives you advantage on rolls involving research or lore (like History or Religion) [*]etc. (the SWADE version contains 23 different upgrades) [/LIST] [*]When you add a new structure, you roll on the Encounters table. On a 1-10, nothing happens. From 11-20, different events can befall your Stronghold, which can include anything from a Plague, a Siege, a Diplomatic Mission, Roving Bandits, etc. [/LIST] There's no currency, nothing to track, and the Stronghold increases when players do. It's about the easiest thing to drop in, and the game can [I]keep going. [/I] [/QUOTE]
